Lisa Bond, RPSGT, RST, FAAST
Lisa’s entrance into sleep medicine began in the early 1990’s when she was diagnosed with OSA and began to look for an understanding of her own sleep disorder.
She began her career in healthcare in the late ’80s as a floor technician doing respiratory therapy and was eventually cross-trained in EEG and into the sleep field.
Lisa moved fully into the sleep field after her diagnosis and has never looked back, having a long and successful career doing what she loves. She is passionate about patient care and believes strongly in education for sleep professionals as well as sleep patients. Lisa considers herself to be an advocate that wants to help you know about your sleep issues, the latest in science, and avenues to help you live with your disease; being successful and healthy. She truly believes that the more educated you are to your disorder, the better you will understand it, and the easier it will be to live and deal with it.
Lisa has worked with the AAST (American Association of Sleep Technologist) writing blog articles, contributing to textbooks, and serving on different committees. Lisa is a winner of the Sharon A Keenan award for outstanding contributions to sleep technology education, and a Service Award from the AAST for making significant contributions to the growth and development of the sleep field.
Lisa considers herself to be a “government brat”. Her father worked for the USDA and subsequently, the family moved around the country many times. She enjoys meeting new people, seeing new perspectives, and learning about different cultures.
Presently Lisa lives in Texas with her husband, 4 rescue dogs, and 3 rescue cats, (and now a coop of chickens). She was once very active in animal rescue, working mostly with difficult medical cases; she has now retired from that work to concentrate on her own aging animals and their special needs.
Her other interests include social media, reading, knitting/crochet, photography, and especially coffee. It is rumored that Lisa will work for coffee.
